i just think with the entirely diffrent lifestyles and way of doing business its hard to just take a blanket chart and say this is exactly the right data.

as mentioned above. what is the malpractice and insurance costs of say canada versus the u.s. if the u.s. is spending 3grand per patient on insurance and doctor protection and canada isn't that would slap the two costs at about the same for each patient when you average it out. not to mention societies that eat healthy and live healthy lifestyles versus the lazy us. there are just allot more things to factor in.

Short Hand, just STFU. what's good for your tiny, irrelevant country may not be the best for our great nation. go back to your igloo and let us Americans deal with our own @!#$.

not everyone wants to sponge off the government like you do.

[sarcasm] This response.... so high in intelligence and full of powerful points............How did I not REALIZE these things before I posted. I APOLOGIZE to you all ! [/sarcasm]

I proclaim it so due to extensive information establishing OECD data as biased. Let's Google "Debunking OECD Study": About 4,250 results (0.34 seconds)

OECD numbers do not seem to be all that well-regarded in the quest for unbiased stats. Sure, YOU like them, for they are telling you what you want to hear. Me, I'm not so sure.

What institution will always be 100 % correct ? I have yet to see any links there that would majorly debunk these numbers. IN FACT when you search that... THIS THREAD is the fourth result..... This goes to show something on the topic itself.

This is about all I will have to say on this topic. Regardless of the source I post... You will always claim it bias unless it reinforces your beliefs.

Cheers.

Well, the fact is, all data is biased, sure. It's when such data is presented as fact (as you did) and not accompanied by counterpoint (as you didn't, so we chimed in with some) that you get replies like ours.

OECD's mission is complete globablization and redisctribution of wealth, so in your case, you picked a data source that's about as far-biased as possible. That's the Holy Grail of socialistic causes, you know. So yeah, you came in with a pretty weak premise.

so i was bored and read this forum. wow is about alll i can say. let me say this THINKING that it is the govt job to make a certain sector that provides a service to other people is a complete falacy. people in this country have this misconception that it works better when the govt does it. there isnt one thing that works better govt ran that it would if it was free from govt control. people need to stop relying on the govt and realize the FREE MARKET is the answer. make insurance companies compete that will drive prices down, there are hospitals that are totally funded by other means other than the fed and guess what they work pretty well. the govt needs to get out of everyones lives let the free market work and then healthcare would be much better. funny how are system is so bad......yet people from all over come here to get care. we need to stop trying to follow other countries and be LEADERS!! France who has one of the best healthcare systems in the world is now having trouble keeping costs down because you cant its impossible prices are going to go up when they have no reason not to. business competition keeps prices low . make companies comepete for customers by offering better bang for your buck deals . like it was stated before everyone in this country who puts forth effort can have healthcare from work or medicaid. or heres an idea if you cant get medicaid and your job doesnt have insurance. save money each month and put it in an account so you have a cushion. lots of people get income tax money back. how many save some just in case? its not the feds job to do everything for you. people can do it themselves almost always. and dont give me the nonesense that fox news has brainwashed me i have local tv and dont get fox news channel. the only politician who i have ever followed and listen to is RON PAUL! Look him up extremely intelligent man. sorry i had to get this off my chest. good day.

hey lets get something straight. im on a piece of junk cell phone. so yea my sentences aint correct and i dont care. also if i cant form a paragraph its because the govt school system failed. kind of like every other govt run program! you kinda proved my point . i hope your smart enough to see that.

im not being aggressive i just cannot stand idiots. your acting like an idiot so what do you expect. i really enjoyedd english class and got staight A's in school. funny thing is instead of you debating what the forums actually about you start running your mouth attacking me because you dont have one intelligent thing to say about healthcare. i already told you im using a cell phone. im not going to type correctly on a cell phone. unless you have something of intelligence to say please refrain from running at the mouth about unrelated topics.

Blue cavy kinda makes a point, it is hard as hell to understand what your saying.Try using a computer if your not able to form complete sentances on your phone. It is somewhat ironic that you claim the goverment can not do anything right, but that people need to get by on there own and not expect the goverment to help everyone. Then the second someone mentions the fact you have horrible grammer instead of blaming yourself you blame your phone and the goverment run schooling. If you believe in what you wrote you should just admit your bad writing is your own fault and not anyone elses.

sorry its hard to understand. where i live i cant get get home internet. and this stupid phones screen is all busted up. i work all the time so my phone takes a beating. i stand by what i said national healthcare is a bad idea. i understand why it would help but its cons are far worse than the pros. thats what i think.
